Sarah is back in preschool and loving it....

Farewell Dedication

Wouldn't you know it... its that time of year when I must bid farewell to all of the wonderful friends who have blessed my life. Thank you for being apart of my life.
Here are some poems that express how i feel..

I feel the time is getting close,
When we will have to part.
Ill show that I'll miss you,
With last words from my heart.
We must be dreaming,
For it has gone to fast.
The time we have spent together,
Will soon be in our past. By Rebecca L. Adkins

The hardest part of any friendship is when it is time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. There is a secret that only real friends know and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one.

May you always have work for your hands to do.May your pockets hold always a coin or two.May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.May the hand of a friend always be near you.And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.~Irish Blessing

Oh the Pain

Notice the beautiful figured women...well that is how i felt before trying on a swimsuit at walmart........ Now notice the mirrored image of the beautiful women...... this is how i felt after i tried on the swimsuit

REALITY BITES.....and i thought i was looking good enough for a swimsuit....NOT

Just some Thougths...

The last several months have brought many tears for me...I never thought how much it would hurt having a broken heart or the sadness i feel on a daily basis. This has caused a lot of strain in my relationships with friends who i care about...and for that i am very SORRY..even though i have tried to work through my loss its hard being happy for those precious friends who are experiencing a new baby or expecting.. i don't think its jealousy...its something deep inside that makes my heart ache a little more knowing that i will not have a opportunity to hold another sweet little one of my own ..to me life has not been the same...some days i think i am starting to come away from this and then the heart ache comes back and i know that is just life but dang it cant i get through this already and let it go
